Help! Hen losing weight very quickly!

[Mr MKK FARMS]

I'm sorry. All I can see is a chicken's wet butt. Anyway her vent looked normal except their was a little skinny, tiny, grey thing on it.

Hmmm....
Sorry I can't help you unless I get pics.

Post a pic of the thing on her vent. I may be poo. I don't know what's wrong with your hen, sorry. I hope she gets better though!!!

I'll try to help as best as I can when you take a picture.

It may be a tape worm. What did you use to worm them with?

Ivermectin doesn't kill tapes. You need to use Valbazen.

Do you think it could just be old age? This chicken is 4 years old. I'm not sure if the others have it or not. Most likely "or not".
